Cozy and dressed up



Blazer- TJMaxx  option  option  option
sweater dress- Target  option  option  option option
scarf- Belk  option option  option  option
boots- Lifestride  option  option
earrings- Cato   option  option  option
 
We had a couple of cold days about a week and a half ago. Of course, I took the opportunity to bundle up in a big ol' scarf. I started with my trusty old sweater dress. It makes a debut about once per fall/ winter season. You would think I would run out of ways to wear it, but so far I keep coming up with something a little different each time. You can see how I've worn it before HERE, HERE, and HERE.  This time I added a blazer and scarf to the ensemble. I think the blazer and heeled boots make this a little more dressy, but it was still cozy.  A small stud earring is my choice of jewelry when I'm wearing a big scarf like this.
 
I'm favoring pink a lot lately. I don't know if I'm returning to my childhood ways (my bedroom was Pepto Bismol pink as a kid) or if it's all the Valentine's stuff on display, but pink has my eye. This pink tweed blazer has my eye too, along with these bright blue earrings. Not to be worn together, but don't tempt me- I might. See my other current crushes in the side bar.

Half yearly sale picks- Saturday shopping

If you haven't had your fill of shopping before Christmas, there are lots of after Christmas and year-end sales going on now, including the Nordstrom half-yearly sale.  I find this to be a good time to stock up on basics and try a few trends on the cheap. Here are a few of my picks:




Half yearly sale picks
 
Women's Sam Edelman Shelby Split Shaft Bootie • Sam Edelman • $89.90
Petite Women's Caslon Zip Back High/low Tunic Sweater • $39.90
Women's Socialite Maddie Rib Knit Cowl Shift Dress • Socialite • $29.40
Women's Bp. Faux Pearl & Crystal Necklace • BP • $12.49
Women's Sarto By Franco Sarto 'Faye' Over The Knee Boot • $161.37
Women's Ten Sixty Sherman Velvet Tee • Ten Sixty Sherman • $20.98
Women's Cristabelle Crystal & Faux Pearl Multristrand Necklace • $41.40
Women's Bp. 'Autumn' Plaid Scarf • BP • $9.98
Women's Bp. Cable Knit Infinity Scarf • BP • $9.98
Women's Blanknyc 'Easy Rider' Faux Leather Moto Jacket • Blank NYC • $59.90


Those Sam Edelman booties would be totally acceptable at the office and my current go to out of the office outfit is leggings and a tunic, so it's a great time to pick up another tunic sweater.  I have the plaid blanket scarf (seen here) and I just picked up the knit infinity scarf (less than $10!). The pop of mustard is going to be a much needed pick me up for my winter closet.  Even though the holidays are almost over, a velvet tee would make a great piece for those other upcoming special events or even Valentine's Day. If you don't want red or green, give this black off shoulder version a try.

If you're looking for a classic go to accessory for work, get a faux pearl necklace. I wear mine all the time.  I also received a Blanknyc jacket from the hubs for Christmas. If the sale jacket is as soft and comfy as mine, I say snatch it up!

Hope you've had a blessed holiday season. I'll keep this short so you can get back to shopping or relaxing or both.  HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Fall floppy hat




Hat- Old Navy  option  option option
blouse- Pleione via TJMaxx  option  option
scarf- Tuesday Morning  option  option
jeans- Belk  option option
bracelet- gift  option
earrings- Limited  similar
booties- JCP  similar  option
I bought this hat last year and never wore it. I love the color. I'm guessing you've figured that out by now- the last few posts here and on Instagram have been with burgundy or olive. Those have been my go to colors so far this fall. I decided it was time to put this hat to use. I've decided after evacuating for Hurricane Matthew that it's time to put lots of things to use or get rid of them. What's the point of possessions that just lay around and serve no purpose?
Last year I pretty much wore this outfit in a work  version- tunic, grey trousers, scarf. It was fun to wear the blouse and scarf in a more casual look.

Nordstrom sale outfit ideas

The Nordstrom anniversary sale is open for public access today. If you have been watching or thinking about some items and wondering how to wear them, let me show you. I've created three outfits from the items I put in my picks, plus a few extras.  Outfits #1 and #3 would be perfect for fall.


Outfit #1

Nordstrom fall outfit

If the sweater has sold out and not restocked, you could always substitute this sweater, this sweater or this top for late summer/early fall.

Outfit #2

I've already got a similar tunic sweater I bought from Nordstrom last year and I've got boyfriend jeans in my closet. The scarf,   bracelet,  and booties are hopefully on their way to me and I can't wait to wear this outfit. I hope the booties fit.  This scarf would work too.

Ya'll, I'll admit I've had a difficult time getting into the Nordstrom Anniversary sale. Everyone says it's one of the best ones ever, but I've been seeing everyone's picks and posts and I've not been overly impressed.  It's just that it's so hot here, and we may be wearing shorts into October, it's hard for me to even fathom that I need anything for fall.

Are you tired of seeing the same ol' thing over and over? I am. Just sayin. I know there are some popular items we all like, but I get tired of seeing them. But I will admit that the more I see the posts and the more I search the website, the more things grow on me. So I've been searching for some things that can be worn early fall in the South and layered later in the winter. I've also tried to pick some things that haven't been posted over and over, and I kept it under $100. I don't know about your, but some things just aren't in my budget, even on sale.

 I will also be sharing a business professional set of picks later, so make sure you are following me so you won't miss it. There truly are lots of great items out there and it's hard to stick them all in one post.

It's a great time to stock up on some classics and basics or dip your toes into a trend. The skinny neck scarf is coming onto the scene, so now might be a good time to give this trend a try. They have one in a floral print too. If you need boots, buy them now. I bought my cognac riding boots last year, so I don't need any this year. I've got the boots covered with a cognac pair, black pair, and a couple of heeled pairs for work. That's another reason I can't get into the sale- I've got most of my basics covered.

We are in the early access phase so you need a Nordstrom debit or credit card to shop. Sign up here.

 Happy Shopping!
